Melissa Petro has landed a new teaching gig after being forced out of the city public schools nearly two years ago for going public about her past as a Craigslist prostitute and stripper.

The former Bronx elementary-school art teacher, who wrote blogs advocating for sex workers when she was not teaching young kids, says she’s “very happy” in her new career teaching adults memoir writing at Gotham Writing Workshops.

She has no plan to return to teaching youngsters.

“I’ve let that piece go,” she told The Post.

“I still have my teaching certificate, so I could still teach, but I’m very happy teaching adults.

“It’s very fulfilling for me, but for the financial implications.

“Gotham is one of the first institutions that has been willing to hire me, and I’m very thankful for that.”

She also has a second gig — teaching hookers how to share their stories at the Red Umbrella Project, an organization that teaches writing skills to sex workers.
